Pierre Jean Baptiste Leroy's 1806 etching, "Dansende beer met begeleider voor een herberg, op de voorgrond ook een aap," depicts a lively scene of a dancing bear and its handler performing for a crowd outside an inn. The artist’s detailed depiction of the figures, the bear's playful dance, and the surrounding crowd creates a sense of energy and excitement, capturing a popular form of entertainment in 19th-century Europe. The etching, measuring 152 mm in height and 192 mm in width, provides a glimpse into the everyday lives of people and the importance of public performances in the past.
